A laser collimator includes an optical lens having an optical axis; a
sliding lens holder for housing the lens having a longitudinal opening
parallel to the optical axis; a stationary lens holder ring for fitting
to the front of the sliding lens holder and having a protruding key for
receiving the longitudinal opening; and a focusing ring movable along the
optical axis, wherein the protruding key placed within the longitudinal
opening prevents the sliding lens holder from rotating.
